Magnetic Resonance Imaging Of The Pediatric Brain

Presents a series of MRI sections parallel to the orbito-meatal plane in children from birth to 16 years of age, emphasizing the constancy of the brain stem and primitive brain during brain development from birth onward; the important development of telencephalon characterized by the deepening of sulci and the growth of the cerebral cortex surface; and the different stages of the white matter myelinization. Provides imaging specialists, neurophysiologists, and pediatricians with a means of recognizing brain structures whatever the age of the child and increasing the accuracy of interpreting tomographic brain images obtained in pediatrics.
